Short Answer - No.

Slightly Longer Answer - No but really and truly there is very little reason to do anything other than unicode for a database these days - excepting perhaps if you live or work with some of the native multi-byte character sets that have slightly unusual encodings (HK chinese from memory for example).

All of our databases were created with character set WE8ISO8859P1. It now appears that we must create a new database specifying AL32UTF8 on the create database command.

Is there a problem of having multiple databases on the same Windows X64 server with different charactersets?
